“Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and for ever.” (Heb. 13:8)

Special greetings in the matchless name of our LORD Jesus Christ with the following scripture:

“Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness…” (Tit. 1:1)

The life of a Bible believing person happens within the limits of God's Word and within the Church. Also those who are scattered belong as members to the whole Body of Christ. The personal manifestation of God in Christ is our central meeting point with Him. In Him alone God met with humanity bringing salvation; in Him alone we have our encounter with God and also fellowship with each other. Only in Christ God met humanity reconciling us with Himself, only in Christ humanity can meet God. He is the Head unto whom all members of His Body submit. The written Word alone is a light to our feet on our way to follow the LORD. Through the establishing of the covenant with Israel they were in obligation towards God. The revealed and proclaimed Word had no binding effect to the other nations; to them God had not spoken. He did not reveal Himself unto them. Therefore, they could walk in their own ways. But His covenant people Israel is duty bound to His covenant Word. Israel cannot and must not walk in their own ways.

In the Old Testament the Word was written on tablets of stone, as also the hearts were hard as stone. In the New Testament the Word became flesh, and our stony hearts were made hearts of flesh by the redemptive work. Thus was the promise which was also fulfilled (Ez. 11:19-20; Ez. 36:26-27; Heb. 8:10; a. o.). All who are truly born again have received God's Life and take God's written Word which is being made alive to them by the Holy Spirit. The believers of the New Covenant make up the Church which is obligated to His Word. All other churches may walk in their own ways, but His purchased people cannot and must not walk in their own ways.

Because the Church consists of individuals God must have His way with each of His own. Brother Branham left us many sermons with different subjects among which is also found the one with the title The Church and its condition. An inventory of the people of the New Covenant is a must at this moment. May our dear LORD speak and bring about His pleasure according to His counsel.

When looking at the signs of the time, the peace process in Israel with the PLO, the neighbouring Arab countries, and also the demand the papacy should recognise Israel politically, we realise that it is high time for the honest preparation. According to the time table God set forth in the respective prophetic Word, the end of the time of grace for the nations is the beginning of the time of grace for Israel (Acts 15:13-18; Rom. 11:11-27; a. o). The establishing of the covenant between the State of Israel and the Vatican State (Dan. 9:27) happens about the time the Bride Church from the nations will be taken up.

In a very short time much has changed in all of Europe. Within a few years a historical change came about. In the same way the second phase is now in progress in the Middle East with Israel and its neighbours. The cold war came to an end – disarmament is imbedded in the peace process and brought the reconciliation with all the neighbouring countries of East and Western Europe.

Now the peace process happens in the “focal point of world history”, so that might be fulfilled as it is written, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety…”  (1 Th. 5:3). Whatever happens elsewhere on earth in the presently about fifty places of unrest, together has not the significance the Middle East has. We are now concerned with the Biblical “end-time prophecy” which comes to fulfilment on the political level in connection with Israel and also in Europe with the coming up of the old Roman Empire in which all of Europe will be integrated and Israel as well.
